Photography Studio: Schwarzschild & Co
Location: Calcutta, India
Subject: Possibly Earl of Mayo. Richard Southwell Bourke, 6th Earl of Mayo, KP, GCSI, PC ( 21 February 1822 – 8 February 1872) styled Lord Naas from 1842 to 1867 and Lord Mayo in India, was a British statesman and prominent member of the British Conservative Party who served as Chief Secretary for Ireland (1852, 1858–9, 1866–8) and Viceroy of India (1869–72).
While visiting the convict settlement at Port Blair in the Andaman Islands in 1872 for the purpose of inspection, he was assassinated by Sher Ali Afridi, a former Afghan soldier who was later convicted of murdering a relative in an argument who had become disgruntled. He vowed to kill a senior official in revenge. Mayo's body was brought home to Ireland and buried at the medieval ruined church in Johnstown, County Kildare, near his home at Palmerstown House. Afridi was hanged on March 11, 1872.
